Sorry I really need to vent.MMM:
[quote=\"chasingjelly\"]oh boy! :!: I was rejoycing as I thought that my dd will be having a new FT in P2 but to my horror, it is a relief teacher until the old FT comes back from maternity leave.
We understand what you mean.
Just monitor the situation closely.
This ft is unable to teach both subjects on the same time, as in follow the timetable. If she does EL today, she can not move on to Math. Beats me why??? My observation of her is that she will cramp the kids with everything 1 month before the exam. Why does the school have to change the system???? I kept comforting myself that she'll get a NEW ft in P2. :x :stupid: :stupid:[/quote]
You mean the P1 FT will be the P2 FT again????
My cousin is also teaching P2 and concidentally she taught my son last year and I saw that the kids in her class have such a great and engaging time with her. I hope that my K2 willl be taught by her next time.
BTW, we used to have another teacher for my P2 but they changed her after term 2 due to parents' feedback. So all is not lost. Just have to monitor. If the parents' feedback are reasonable and warranted, I am sure the school will listen.
Last year, my P3 also had a change of teachers (in fact various) until the entire class was behind the entire level. For the 1st half of the year, we were plagued with teachers issues. But I also learnt that despite all these movements, she wasn't really affected as she had enrichment lessons outside school. So it was at that point that I felt that fortunately we had such arrangement. -
Yes the P1 FT is her P2 FT now. What angered me is that she indirectly told me that I should send my child to external help if I think she is not good enough. The issue was that she didn’t prepare the class to sit for a 1.5hr paper in a classroom setting and that my dd didn’t have the stamina to complete the paper. While I heard that other classes had their mock tests but this class had NOTHING.

chasingjelly, my DS (P2) class also had a change of FT. The P1 FT went to teach in the morning session. I heard that the FT allocated to the class is on maternity leave now and the current FT will teach the class until the actual FT is back from ML. In fact, DS’ teachers for all subjects were changed!

MMM, I saw this subject "ftgp" in the timetable. Do you know what subject is this?

ok nvm... the lower primary will be doing holistic assessment from this year onwards. Hopefully it will not be that bad. -
how do we know what books to bring for the subjects? And do they need to wear PE attire for PE sessions, on both days? One day has 1 period of PE, the other day has 2 periods.

It is more comfortable to wear PE attire on days with PE lesson. If your child wears uniform, they will still get him/her to do the exercises.
As for books, usually the workbooks are kept in school. So typically my DS only brings the textbooks and the exercise books if any. -

For EL, nothing to bring. Math and CL, just have to bring the textbook daily since they have those core subjects daily. As for the rest, you have to look at the timetable. Yes you need to wear PE attire for both days. -

There was no note in DS' bag. But DS said his friend said its some form teacher thing. I wonder what is that.lostbunny:
